Updated May 12, 2024 by testing

Hello there, my dearest munchkins! I am back again with another exciting topic for you! We all enjoy reading manhwa, where we get to see OP MCs, right? More often than not, we learn a lot from these characters. The stories are even more interesting when we see these OP MCs the instant the story starts—not in the middle nor at the nearing end—but at the beginning.

Relevant to that, we will read a lot about manhwa with OP MCs from the start. I can’t wait for you guys to see this. So let’s dive into the world of power and more power.

KOREAN WEBTOONS WHERE THE MC IS ALREADY OVERPOWERED IN THE BEGINNING (RECOMMENDATIONS)

16. The Tyrant’s Guardian is an Evil Witch

Y’all know how it is when you already have everything you ever want, right? You feel lost or bored, and our MC, Clete, is experiencing the exact same thing. She reincarnated in a world filled with magic, and to top it all off, she is the strongest witch residing in the North.

She lived for two hundred years, and her boring and calm life changed when a young boy named Aiden with golden hair ended up at her doorstep. He is none other than the person who will kill her in the future.

Having no experience of human relationships, Clete is faced with a dilemma. Her choices now will make her future and carve a path for Aiden.

15. The Lady and the Beast

An Empress in her previous life lives her life as a simple noble this time around. That would be true to give you an idea of the plot. However, our MC, Astina, has all the expert sword skills and excellent knowledge of history.

Her peaceful and boring life turns upside down when she marries the monstrous Duke. Yes, the Duke is literally a monster. A curse has turned him into a giant wild dog.

The plot develops when Astina tames the wild dog and tries to lift the curse on the once handsome Duke. Yet, there is a lot in store for the duo. She never knew that Thereode would be the exact copy of her lover from her previous life.

The story is full of political fights, mercenaries, sword fights, and some touches of fairy tale. That’s literally all in one, so what are you waiting for? Go open Chrome! NOW!

14. Gangs of School

Everyone has a tough life, but our MC Won Hang just has it harsher to the point that it’s already depressing. Welp, not to compete with ya, I just want to emphasise how horrible his life has been, so don’t attack me for comparing. Please, thanks. He lost his father, and his mother had a mental breakdown. Not only that, he has to take care of his blind sister. It is so much for a school-going boy, no?

The plot revolves around Hang and develops when Hang decides to make his own gang for survival. Yeah, I know; he is giving bad guy vibes. But after going through so much in life, anyone would lose rationality.

So, Hang chose a path to let his anger out and save his family. This manhwa is full of blood and action. You will get to have some classy action sequences and some rough fighting styles.

13. Truthfully They Only Remembered Her

The story revolves around a commoner knight named Clearance Holton. She may be a commoner, but she was feared as the death dealer on the battlefield. Clearance was hailed as the strongest knight of the Kingdom.

She decides to stop being a knight with the thoughts of living an everyday normal life. She returns back to her hometown and starts working as a bookkeeper along with her brother. However, the people she left, assuming that they would barely think about her, started appearing at her doorstep.

Her dream of living a normal life changes soon. New trials and adventures begin when the strongest magician, a sneaky priest, a loyal Knight, and a headstrong Prince try to get her back.

12. The Constellation That Returned From Hell

Monsters, god-like creatures, power battles, name it, this manhwa has it! Our MC Yeonseung Choi, a hunter on earth, has to survive among god-like monstrous creatures in an abyss.

He has an aim to go back and save the earth. The plot develops with his trials and survival in this unknown world. But little did he know that this path would lead him to something bigger than his expectations.

You won’t believe that he triumphed as the first Human Constellation ever. There is more to the story, and you should not miss this one if you want to have goosebumps during action sequences.

11. The duch*ess with an Empty Soul

You are in for an amazing experience of reincarnation, sword fights, spirit summoning, demons and a lot more. If you are looking for a manhwa with OP MC from the start, then mark this one on your list. The story revolves around Evona, a spirit summoner, waking up a few years before her death.

To avoid dying at the hands of her evil fiancé from her previous life, she develops a plan. Evona chooses to marry Duke Argentine. He is the wielder of the Holy Sword. So yeah! They are the power couple of the town now.

The story develops with Evona trying to take revenge against her perpetrators. Duke Argentine helps Evona, but there is a lot more to the story. The Duke is rejected by the holy sword. Okay!!! So some secrets are yet to be revealed.

This manhwa is full of magic, power, and mysteries to be revealed.

10. Devil Sword King

“Devil Sword King” or “The Dead King” is based on a novel of the same name. You can guess its popularity because it was adapted as a manhwa soon after the novel’s original release.

Our young protagonist is teleported into a world of martial arts, and in one year, he becomes the most decisive leader. It would be okay if he were to stay just like that.

With some turn of events, his world keeps switching, and he has to live dual lives; one of a high schooler and another as one of the strongest leaders. But how long can he survive? To find out, let’s start with this one. I assure you that it won’t disappoint you.

9. The Breaker

If you are an action freak, this manhwa is a must-read for you! “The Breaker” is a unique combo of humour and action at its peak. At first, it may seem like a typical story where a teacher finds a student being bullied and saves him.

However, in this manhwa, the teacher Chun Woo is not just a regular one. He is the most famous and strongest martial artist in the Murim world. Murim is a hidden world of martial arts. Shioon, the student, and our MC get the chance to be trained by this exceptional master.

The plot develops when Shioon changes from the weakest to the strongest. There are a lot of mysteries, hidden identities, unique powers, and fights. It is a full-action-packed manhwa of the previous decade with OP MC from the start.

8. Mercenary Enrollment

Mercenary Enrollment. What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the title? Because for me who has already read it, oh you’re gonna have to prepare your ears because I’m gonna be all fired up telling you how good it is for the entire day. I’m not Captain America or Captain Carter, but I can do this all day HAHAHA!

The story revolves around a teenager named Ijin Yu. His life takes a turn when he survives a plane crash. With some turn of events, he becomes one of the strongest mercenaries. At age 18, he finally gets to return to his homeland.

Ijin has only one year left at the high school. However, he never thought the high school life of an average Korean student would be full of fights and challenges. Trying to blend in with the ways of high school life, he starts living as a high schooler.

But is it possible for a mercenary to avoid everything easily? Guys, this is one of the best manhwa with an OP MC from the start. Don’t miss it if you want to see some action and a ruthlessly cold male lead.

7. I Tamed a Tyrant and Ran Away

This manhwa is not only what its name tells. Our MC has lived as the most powerful and unbreakable sword for over 400 years. Yes, right! Not as a monster or a pet but as a sword—something completely new.

Charlize Ronan swears to destroy the empire that turned her into a sword. With luck being on her side, she goes back in time before becoming a sword. Charlize has all the experience and power from when she was a sword.

The plot develops when she aims to turn the innocent prince into a tyrant. The manhwa is famous for its art style and power elements. It is consistently among the best manhwa with a strong OP MC from the start and is highly recommended.

6. Weak Hero

Yes, you read that right. Weak Hero is the next name on my manhwa list with an OP MC from the start. The story is entirely opposite to its name. Don’t miss this one if you are looking for a hero with solid willpower, brains, and fighting expertise.

Gray Yeon is a transfer student in a school run by bullies. He has a tiny build and is thus the next easy target on the list of bullies. However, seemingly weak Gray Yeon has decided to dismantle the bullying system.

His scary fighting styles leave the bullies lying on the ground. Well, he is the bad guy here, and he rules. So, if you want to learn how to deal with bullies, read this one.

5. Light and Shadow

A concise yet spellbinding story, straightforward fighters who are experiencing new feelings, fighting and surviving battles outside the battlefield; man is it a unique one. Both our MC’s are strong. You will see a deadly combo of a strongest Knight and a Prince with thrilling swordsmanship.

Hold on, before you get confused, let me tell you. Prince Eden is actually our female lead, Edna. She was forced to live like a prince, and then suddenly, she had to abandon that role and take up the role of a poor maid.

Her life changes when she marries Hayden, the strongest Knight. The plot develops with their lives intertwining. Both our MCs are faced with deadly wars and powerful enemies. It is a story worth reading if you are looking for an OP MC from the start.

4. Charlotte has Five Disciples

It is one of the best power-packed manhwa that has been in the spotlight for the past 2 years. The story revolves around the archmage, Charlotte. She is the strongest mage to ever have existed. She defeated the demon king and sealed him.

She lived long enough to find and train five equally powerful and monstrous students. She thought she had done more than enough, and now she should rest. Charlotte plans to die without telling anyone.

However, fate just loved her too much. Rather than dying, she loses all her mana and reverts to a child. Now in search of love, the only thing she didn’t have in her past life, or perhaps she never saw it right.

The plot develops when this mana-less archmage has to keep her identity hidden and save the world from the Demon King once again. Humour, power, action, magic, sword fights, and a clearly enchanting art await you.

3. God of Blackfield

Living in the battlefield and scaring the wits out of his enemies is the job of our MC, Kang Chan. He is a soldier who earned the name of “God of Blackfield” yet he dies at the hands of a betrayer.

Well, he gets a second chance. But, this second chance is strangely twisted. He opens his eyes as a high schooler. So, his battlefield filled with bullets, bombs, and blood is changed into something else.

He now faces bullies, girl problems, and studies. The manhwa is getting popular with each passing day. The plot develops with Kang Chan’s efforts to take revenge while surviving on this new battlefield.

2. Descent of the Demonic Master

Jinho Kang is a regular teenage boy who loses his life in an accident. He thought that his life had ended just this way yet he opened his eyes in ancient China as a Demonic Master with never seen before powers.

Then again, even there, his life ended suddenly. He wakes up in his human body again, but this time before the accident. Now, the real story begins. Kang is attacked by monsters in this modern world.

However, our regular teenage boy now has the powers of the Demonic Master he got from his short life in ancient China. The plot develops with Kang Jinho trying to live his everyday life while defeating the monsters.

It is a manhwa filled with action, superpowers, and an OP MC from the start.

1. The Max Level Hero has Returned

For the special manhwa that managed to cop the first spot, The Max Level Hero has Returned!

The story revolves around a weak prince, Davey. He could never bring out the traitors and punish them or fight off his enemies. Davey dies and opens his eyes in a place he never imagined.

He lives among the most potent entities of all times for a hundred years and becomes the strongest among them. The best part is that he suddenly goes back to his original weak self. However, this time he has all the powers and skills he attained over the hundred years.

Now, he is the strongest Prince Davey, and he dares anyone who disobeys him. This manhwa has an OP MC from the start, magic, superhuman entities, political struggles, and mind games. So don’t miss this one.
